Craig Shakespeare, has said that it was not over for his side, adding that they are capable of escaping from the bottom of the English Premier League. Shakespeare was prom oted from his role as assistant gaffer, following Claudio Ranieri’s sensational dismissal last Thursday, nine months on from Leicester’s 5,000-1 odds Premier League title triumph.
Leicester FC will be on parade against Hull City tomorrow in another test for the new manager, who is out to make name for himself. “Do I think I’m capable of it? Yes.
Does it faze me? No,” he told reporters at the King Power Stadium, when asked if he wanted the job. “But it’s the owners who decide and they’ll do their diligence and look. I think it’ll take its course. They’ll sit down and I’ll try and prepare the team as rightly as I can for Hull unless told otherwise.”
Ranieri may have gone, but Leicester’s faithful showed the much-loved 65-year-old Italian he will not be forgotten. Several fans brandished banners thanking him and there was a coordinated smartphone light show in his honour in the 65th minute, accompanied by chants of his name.
